Hawerchuk10 Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Lookout Peyton here comes the Pats. I was out with the fella's last night watching the Pats/Jags game and got into an arguement about whether or not New England can give Indy a serious challenge. Brady's team is looking good. They think that Indy will roll the Patriots. The Pats have won 3 of the last 4 Super Bowls and if I were the Colts I would be nervous of Brady and the Pats hanging around. I like the Pats still over Peyton and the Colts. So I put my money where my mouth is and now I have a $100 bet on the game... if they play. Are the Pats a serious challenger to the Colts this year?
MadBuffaloDisease Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Maybe if the game were in New England. The Pats have such a huge psychological advantage there it's unreal. Or at least had, prior to this year.

RLflutie7 Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 If the Pats score early, which I think they will, then the Colts are toast. Homefield advantage can work for and against you. People are overlooking New England. Has Tom Brady ever lost in the Playoffs?

CJPearl2 Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Not quite yet. If Pittsburgh beats Cincy, New England plays in Denver next week.
Grant Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 I bet the Pats beat the Colts, should they play. But we'll see.

I think the Pats beat the Colts outright no problem, but Denver may take them at home (depends on Plummer). OTOH, I don't see Denver winning in Indy, so the Colts IMO should be rooting for the Steelers today if they want to go to the show....wouldn't be surprised to see Cincy take the Colts either.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 The Colts aren't NOT winning the SB this year peeps. It has already been determined.

Like the Bills of the 1993 and 1994, they won't go away quietly. And unlike te Bills, they have NEVER LOST A POSTSEASON GAME (10-0 is damned impressive!)

Not that I didn't think the Colts were going to win it all anyway. 559079[/snapback] Well, if we're going with the "rigged-storyline" theory, I think the Colts have a title locked up then. What better story line than "winning one for James Dungy"? You just KNOW if the Colts go to the Super Bowl, everyone is going to be falling all over themselves to try and dedicate the game to his memory.
